No crowns, but plenty of great memories for Ledgerland boys hockey teams this winter.

Consider:

BC High made its fourth straight Super 8 appearance, losing in a drawn-out shootout in the semifinals.

Duxbury made the Super 8 field for the first time since 2006.

Braintree made its first-ever Super 8 appearance. After losing in the play-in round, the Wamps broke new ground again by playing in their first-ever Division 1 state final.

Hanover joined Braintree at TD Garden on the final Sunday of the season, losing the Div. 3 title game.

Throw in Archbishop Williams’ second straight trip to the Super 8 play-in doubleheader, Thayer Academy’s outstanding season in the Independent School League, and Milton’s 17-win campaign, and the South Shore had plenty to celebrate.

Our All-Scholastic team includes standout seniors such as John Carlson (Hingham) and David Cataldo (Marshfield) as well as a promising underclassmen such as Ryan Shea (BC High) and Matt Lazaro (Canton).
